European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant tree species of Central Europe's natural
forests and one of the continent's most important timber species. This highly competitive …

Xylem parenchyma cells [vessel associated cells (VACs)] constitute a significant fraction of
the xylem in woody plants. These cells are often closely connected with xylem vessels or …

Phloem loading and sugar distribution are key steps for carbon partitioning in herbaceous
and woody species. Although the phloem loading mechanisms in herbs are well studied …

Abstract An Illumina Infinium SNP genotyping array was constructed for European white
oaks. Six individuals of Quercus petraea and Q. robur were considered for SNP discovery …

Barley is an economically important crop widely cultivated in the world. Boron (B) toxicity
limits its yield in a variety of regions worldwide. B-tolerant cultivar of barley (Hordeum …

We characterized the short-term response to waterlogging in Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.
and Quercus robur L. as the initial response towards their known long-term differences in …

Aquaporins have important roles in various physiological processes in plants, including
growth, development and adaptation to stress. In this study, a gene encoding a root-specific …

In temperate woody species, carbon transport from source to sink tissues is a striking
physiological process, particularly considering seasonal changes. The functions of different …

Aquaporins belong to the highly conserved major intrinsic protein family and are involved in
the transcellular membrane transport of water and other small solutes. However, there has …

In the last decades, the interest on traditional Mediterranean fruits highly increased, not only
due to the constant demand of consumers for new crop alternatives but also due to the …
